Charles-Louis Balzac, who was born in Paris in 1752, was an architect and architectural draughtsman. He made many drawings for Denon's work on the monuments of Egypt, and also views of various interesting Egyptian buildings, such as the interior of the Mosque at Hassan, the Palace of Karnac, the Great Sphinx, and the Pyramids of Ghizeh. Balzac died in Paris in 1820.
